Salad Pitas: Easy, Delicious, and Nutritious

Step 1: Make a salad.

This is such a simple idea.

Make a salad using ingredients you like. We used what we had on had which was green leaf lettuce, kale, carrots, broccoli, and ranch dressing.

Stuff your salad into a pita.

Enjoy!

I bought whole wheat pitas for this meal. When buying pitas you will notice that some are labeled as pocketed. Be sure to get pitas that you can stuff. The ones I picked up at the store were pocketed on the inside, but I had to cut the very top of the pita off to create an opening.

A satisfying lunch.
